Walmart goes live with Google voice ordering

Walmart and Google are both trying their best to beat Amazon, and to a great extent, it makes sense that they recently joined forces to do so: Walmart brings the inventory, the retail know-how and the customer base, while Google brings device hardware and some advanced search and shopping technology in the form of Google Home products, Google Assistant and Google Express.

A voice shopping link from Google-operated homes directly to Walmart.com is a big step for Walmart, and brings it a step closer to the path paved by Amazon and Alexa.
